Official game thread. WSU vs. Cal

None of us understands the panic and excitement of that play, but for God's sake... we're talking about finding ways to take points away from ourselves here. Harder to blow that than it is to bring it down.
Holding. Cal gets the 1st.
SHOULD THE COUGS JUST LEAVE FOR A FEW SERIES AND COME BACK?
Both Cal's & Stanford's offense is 100% referees.

This turn of events could cost the team the game.
Great intercept, fumble but almost picked it up for six, now a P.I. call on 3rd down.
Team needs to dig down deep.

Impossibly, Cal's feckless, stripes-based offense leads TOP.
And now we're down to 1 TO in a nailbiter with more than a quarter left to play.

It has been mistake filled game for the Cougars. As I wrote earlier, you let the other team hang around, it can come back to bite you.
Interesting that the CAL player lost his feet when he was touched up on the arm. Cal must be located closer to Hollywood than I thought. Good acting job.
Feel like we've seen the pocket collapsing on Garber from his right, only for him to escape left, about 20x tonight.
+7 for the Cougs ends up +3 for Cal.
Still waiting for a few tossup home-cookin' calls to go our way, being the PAC's only chance and all.

I don't know how Cal's offense beats us straight up. They dodge the Pick 6 bullet, they have half a dozen drives extended with ticky-tack flags or letter-of-the-law calls... how big is that horseshoe up their tuchus?
We have a full quarter now, with the ball, 1st down, good field position, their QB's probably gotten all the scrambling yards he's gonna get, they've already run their misdirection plays, goofy TOs are done, we've had about as much misfortune as we can have between the blown Pick 6 and the INT... I just don't know what else can happen here without this being the Truman Show where we're never allowed to leave the PAC North basement.

Man, Cal's OL is REALLY handsy. We're close to sacks and TFLs on every drop but just missing. Would love to start seeing some flags for holding.
Cal's stripes-based offense keeps rolling. WSU now with 6 penalties for 65 yards. Cal has 1. I'm sure that's all above board.
3rd down and long coming up
It's about a 50/50 chance of a P.I. call against WSU
No way was that previous call a penalty.

Honest to God. I mean you read the correspondence between Leach and the P12 (Dixon, Scott etc.) RE text messages right? It's getting to a point where it's looking more and more like the P12 is a casino Mike Leach is banned from.
I know the booth has to talk to fill time, but them saying "Cal's defense is keeping it in the game" is nonsense. It's 100% flags.
This game is so effing cooked. 7 penalties for 80 yards. Cal with 1 penalty. 5 Cal drives extended while we can't get a flag to save our lives. Cal would have <100 yards of offense without flags; instead, they're increasingly dominating TOP and keeping our high-flying offense off the field. Defense has been on the field for almost a half hour already with plenty time left.
They're showing the blown pick 6 replay. Game would have been over if we don't lose our lunch in the EZ.
I know we've made some stupid mistakes, but what do you even ask the defense to do when they've been on the field for half an hour and every 3rd down is automatic laundry?
I believe that I’m done with colllege football. Between the Pac-12 office, rediculous rules, and crap officiating I just don’t enjoy it anymore.
When they showed the replay I was waiting for them to say he didn't have possession...
